   Don't the _majority_ of at least unsolicited "meeting women" ad.s   
   mention "younger" women, since that's what most men (of all ages!) look   
   for, at least the sort who might respond to unsolicited ad.s? In that   
   such liaisons are going to be - let's not beat about the bush - looking   
   for sex, for which younger is preferred (on the whole)? So I don't think   
   they're guessing your age at all. Gross oversimplification here, but I   
   think there's some truth in it.

   When you say "Google itself", presumably you're looking for things; they   
   may guess from the sort of things (I don't just mean goods, I mean   
   questions) you look for/ask about. And your choice of games probably   
   hints something too.
